GLAPX Investment Objective and Strategy

GMO Global Asset Allocation Series Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by GMO Series Trust.

Principal investment strategy

"The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in Class III shares of GMO Global Asset Allocation Fund (""GAAF""), a series of GMO Trust not offered in this Prospectus. GAAF invests primarily in shares of other funds managed by GMO (""GMO Funds""). The Fund's investment objective and principal investment strategies are substantially similar to those of GAAF. Except as otherwise indicated, references to the Fund may also refer to GAAF, and references to actions undertaken or investments held by the Fund may also refer to those by GAAF. GMO serves as investment adviser for both the Fund and GAAF. The Fund is a fund of funds and invests primarily in shares of other GMO Funds (collectively, the ""underlying GMO Funds""), which may include GMO Funds that invest in equities (collectively, the ""GMO Equity Funds""), GMO Funds that invest in fixed income securities (collectively, the ""GMO Fixed Income Funds""), GMO Funds that are intended to complement other GMO strategies (collectively, the ""GMO Implementation Funds""), and GMO alternative funds (collectively, the ""GMO Alternative Funds"").

The Fund also may invest directly in securities (including other underlying funds) and derivatives. The Fund is permitted to invest in any asset class, including, for example, U.S. and non-U.S. equities (including emerging country equities), U.S. and non-U.S. fixed income securities of any credit quality, including below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as ""junk bonds"") (including emerging country debt securities) and commodities. The term ""equities"" refers to direct and indirect investments in common and preferred stocks and other stock-related securities, such as convertible securities, depositary receipts, and equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) and income trusts. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization. GMO uses its multi-year forecasts of returns among asset classes, together with its assessment of the relative risks of such asset classes, to select the underlying GMO Funds in which the Fund invests and to decide how much to invest in each.

An important component of those forecasts is GMO's expectation that valuations ultimately revert to their fundamental fair (or intrinsic) value. GMO changes the Fund's holdings of the underlying GMO Funds in response to changes in GMO's investment outlook and market valuations and may use redemptions or purchases of Fund shares to rebalance the Fund's investments. Under normal circumstances, GMO intends to invest not more than 85% of the Fund's assets in the GMO Equity Funds. The factors GMO considers and investment methods GMO uses can change over time. In seeking to achieve the Fund's investment objective, GMO may invest a significant portion of the Fund's net assets in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities. The Fund also may invest in money market funds unaffiliated with GMO and directly in the types of investments typically held by money market funds.

The Fund may hold cash, cash equivalents, and/or U.S. government securities to manage cash inflows and outflows as a result of shareholder purchases and redemptions."
